Watch a Child Actor Grow Up in Richard Linklater’s ‘Boyhood’ Trailer

Here’s the trailer for Richard Linklater’s Boyhood, an innovative project he shot over the course of 12 years, employing the same young actor from the ages of 6 to 18. (It also employed the same Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette over that span, but that’s somehow less impressive a trick.) It looks excellent.

And here is a trailer for Wolfcop, which presumably also employed the same actors over its entire shooting schedule. It also looks excellent, but mostly because there’s a cop who becomes a wolf. To the best of our knowledge, the kid in Boyhood becomes neither cop nor wolf.
